HauDeaings of Importance About the CoIIege-CeReral Walker speaks in North shelf. Hall-Yale's Mass M eet. ing Yesterday-OpPesed to the Pro. posed League.
 Bolton 'S6 S. is in town and will assume the management of the crew at once.
 The trophies for the nine are on exhibition at Fords.
 In Linonia hall tonight the Sophomore Literary Debating society will discuss the question: Resolved, That it would be for the best interest of this country that immigra- tion be restricted.
 The first of the series of graduate lectures was given in North Shelf. hall and was at tended by quite large number of students. General Walker delivered the lecture on 'sThe source of business profits" and suc- ceeded in giving an instructive and entertain | ing discussion of the subject. A large meeting of the university was held | in Lyceum yesterday afternoon to come to 6 | final decision as to the proposed base ball l league. The sentiment of the college has been hard to acquire, but yesterdays meet ing proved conclusively that Yale was op- posed to the league of Yale, Harvard and Princeton. After short discussion pro and con it was decided that the base ball management should have full power to join | in any league which included some of last years colleges or the proposed league of Yale, Harvard Princeton and Columbia. By this conduct Yale has shown herself to be emphatically opposed to the original league of Yale, Harvard and Princeton. YALE,S WINTER GAMES. The First Days Contest Draws a Large Crowd-Excit1ng BOuGs-One Record Beaten.
 The winter games drew about 450 to Lin coin rink last evening and proved very inter- esting This was the first day of the games and was very successful. The second series of contests will take place next Saturday, which will be ladies' day. and will be even more attractive than that of last evening. The contests last night were very good and showed considerable good material for the coming Mott Haven games. One record was beaten, which was the high jumping contest, and in that MT. Shearman 'S9 succeeded in clearing it. 7 in., thus beating the Yale record of 5 fit. 614 in. This was the conclu- sion of contest which has consisted of eight series of contests, which finally ended last evening and resulted in a victory for MT. Shearman: The other contests showed considerable ability, the results of the efforts of the new Yale athletic trainer, MT. Ander- son. MT. Koch, who has been assisting Mir. Anderson in his work, was the referee in the fencing bouts and was very fair in all his decisions. The tug of.war contests were hotly contested, especially in the struggle between '99 vs. 90, and which was finally won by go by the short distance of 1 IA inches.
 In putting the 16 ID. shot the contest was very close, but was won by MT. Woodruff 'S9. A. B. Coxe, Yales famous athlete and the holder of the intercollegiate record, though not contestant, gave an exhibition of his superior strength and succeeded in putting the shot greater distance than either of the two contestants.
 The high jumping contest was one of the prettiest performances of the evening and elicited great applause for the pretty jump ing of the contestants. MT. Shearman by winning the contest will be formidable op- ponent in the Mott Haven games. The sparring showed considerable skill in feints and blows and showed conscientious training. In the feather weight sparring the two con- testants were so evenly matched that it re- quired another bout Of two minutes to de- eide the struggle. The fencing was a new feature of the entertainment and will here after be a permanent affair. Under MT. Koch's instruction the three bouts of fencing were very interesting, but there is considera ble room for improvement.
 The wrestling bouts were fercelv fought
 
 for. Following is the list of contests with the successful contestants:
